Whats the story lads. I've just picked up an EM1 thats been left sitting since late January 2018, so nearly 4 years.
I got the car home without having to tow it. Brand new battery and some petrol was all that it needed. The B16A2 sprung back to life, first turn of the key.
The advice I need from you lads is, what should I change out immediately or check? I'm aware that the oil and filter need to go, and that the tyres are possibly dried out from sitting so long. I've zero experience with the B-series, as this is my first one. Plus I've never bought a car that has sat so long.
What I've been recommended so far is to change the plugs, fuel filter, check the VTEC solenoid, and check the earthing wires for any rust. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
